Vorlage:Infobox Football biography 2 John "Jack" Shufflebotham (11 April 1885 – 1954) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Notts County, Birmingham and Oldham Athletic.[1] He played as a centre half.
Shufflebotham was born in Macclesfield, Cheshire.[1] He played for Hanley Town and Loughborough Corinthians, and was on the books of Aston Villa without appearing for the first team,[2] before making his debut in the First Division of the Football League for Notts County during the 1904–05 season.[1] After a spell with Old Hill Shufflebotham returned to the First Division, playing one game for Birmingham in 1906 before moving on to Oldham Athletic, newly elected to the Second Division.[3] He played seven league games for Oldham,[1] but was allowed to leave for Southern League club Portsmouth in 1909. Oldham retained his Football League registration, and two years later they sold him to Southport Central for a fee of £150. He retired from football in October 1914.[4]
Shufflebotham worked as a timber merchant's agent in the Birmingham area both before and after the First World War. He died in Crewe, Cheshire, in 1954 aged about 69.[4]
